Being on the receiving end of President Trump' biting tweets might make
The New York Times squirm. But here's something else that could be making
The Gray Lady uncomfortable (and itchy) at the moment: bed bugs.

Multiple Times staffers shared the news on social media Monday: The famed
newsroom has an infestation of bed bugs.


According to an internal email sent to employees -- obtained by Slate, the
bugs were found in the "wellness room" on the second floor, on a couch on
the third floor, and in a booth on the fourth floor over the weekend.

The email went on to say that "evidence of possible bedbug activity was
found in a few personal lockers on the third floor," and that "treatment
is underway" for those whose lockers were contaminated.

Assistant editor Stuart Thompson shared the news on Twitter, before
columnist Sopan Deb (apparently a Trekker) joked that he'd "ordered
shields up" and "phasers to be set on stun" to combat the critters.

No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

The Obama-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)
approved Uranium One in fall 2010. With a little luck, we'll see
compulsive liar Hillary Clinton in jail before she dies.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
